Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Albert Einstein was an extraordinary individual, and his brilliance is reflected in his extensive body of work, comprising over six hundred scientific papers, books, essays, reviews, and opinion pieces. He began publishing in March 1901 with a scientific article in the German journal Annalen der Physik at the age of twenty-two, and his final piece, an editorial in Common Cause, was released shortly before his death in 1955. Over fifty-four years, his publications spanned topics such as relativity theory, quantum physics, nationalism, Judaism, war, peace, and education. Given the sheer volume of his literary contributions, even many of his most knowledgeable admirers may not be familiar with all of them. This almanac examines Einstein's year-by-year output, highlighting his three hundred most significant publications while placing them within the context of his life, scientific advancements, and historical events. Focusing on his scientific and humanitarian writings, Alice Calaprice summarizes key papers and discusses notable events surrounding their release, including aspects of Einstein's personal life, his travels, the contributions of other scientists, and relevant social and cultural developments. This work offers an enjoyable and informative perspective on both Einstein's genius and his humanity.
